Moriah S. Bartlett serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in scientific and technical services, with a strong emphasis on research and development activities. Within the agency’s acquisition framework, she plays a critical role in translating mission-critical scientific needs into competitive, compliant contract actions. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering, laboratory testing, and process consulting services, ensuring that the agency maintains access to cutting-edge technical expertise. She exercises full lifecycle contracting authority, from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring, aligning procurements with federal acquisition regulations and strategic agency objectives. Bartlett engages with a diverse base of vendors, including specialized research firms, independent testing laboratories, and niche consulting entities that provide advanced analytical and technical support. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with demonstrated technical competence and past performance in scientific domains. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in transparency, competitive fairness, and performance accountability, ensuring high-quality deliverables in technically demanding environments. Her procurement strategy is uniformly non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing the selection of the most qualified offerors regardless of business size or certification status. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her approach ensures rigorous evaluation of all proposers based on technical merit and past performance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715, encompassing physical, engineering, and life sciences R&D, followed by testing laboratories (541380) and process consulting (541614). She regularly acquires services involving experimental design, data analysis, environmental testing, and operational logistics optimization, demonstrating deep familiarity with scientific methodologies and technical compliance requirements in federally funded research contexts.
